The Government of Cross River State has ordered civil service workers in the state to resume back to work after a temporary suspension of work in the state in a bid to curb the spread of the Coronavirus pandemic.
In a statement released by the spokesperson of Governor Ben Ayade, Christian Ita, he said all civil servants on grade level 10 are expected back at their post on Tuesday, April 14. He also noted that the returning civil servants must also adhere to the “no mask, no movement” policy of the state.
The statement reads in part;
“All returning civil servants are to receive nose masks from the COVID-19 Response Task Force through their respective permanent secretaries.
“All nose masks to be used in the state must be locally made, with the place of origin clearly marked.
“The sale of masks made by the Cross River State Garment Factory is prohibited. Masks are to be distributed free of charge.”
The statement further added that mass gatherings of all kinds such as worships, weddings, burials remain prohibited, residents would be allowed into public places such as markets, malls, sports, and banks if they use the appropriate mask.
